The connection is kept open for the lifetime of the JVM. It's also
good to keep HTable's opened, one per thread per table, as the real
connections are done in a utility class inside HBaseConnectionManager
(which you don't have to worry about).

I am using a HBase as backend for a service. I want to somehow cache
the connection to HBase so each request doesn't need to pay the cost
of making the connection. I am already cacheing the HTable object, is
that enough or is there a better way? And how long can the connection
be held onto? Thanks!
